don't give up. we have been fighting for 9 years. wcb cut my husband off for 4 years and left us to find our own diagnosis. they thought he was lieing and not in any pain at all. I had to go to work at a gas station to support us and our two kids. We finally won our appeal with alot of hard work going over his files. We could not hire a lawyer couldn't afford one so my dad help and went over his files and found all the lies and discrepencies. So hang in there it does get better.
